About This Track

Before Alice In Chains defined the Seattle sound, they were known as Alice N’ Chains, playing glam metal. The guitar and bass riff here is reminiscent of that 1980s hair metal era. But the song also hints at addiction: it describes the thoughts of using again, and the hesitation around it.

Why It Works for Running

As the initial fatigue fades, this track's heavy mood and intense feel create a pocket where perceived effort drops. The brain focuses on the sound, and the pace feels easier by comparison.
